Fitness Identity Training - Long Beach, California

I have had the opportunity to train with Ricardo at Fitness Identity Training over the past three years. I have worked with trainers before at larger gyms (Equinox, Gold’s, Crunch) but had not gained either the connection with my trainer nor had the experience of such mindful attention to my process and/or progress – all of which I have experienced with Ricardo. I started weight training to feel more confident in my own body and to maintain a good level of fitness – not necessarily to build muscle or lose weight, although all of these have become benefits of my continued workouts. I think the most surprising thing for me is how much confidence I have gained overall from working with Ricardo – he is patient, attentive and knowledgeable, but most importantly he is very adept at purposefully challenging me without it feeling like either an obligation to continue adding weights or reps AND to let me figure out how to break my own confidence comfort level for the better. Additionally, having the one-on-one attention in a setting where it’s me and maybe one/two other people working out at the same time is an absolute dream and really allows me to focus. I am more than grateful for the experience of working out with Ricardo and I can’t recommend him highly enough!

I’ve been a client since May 2022. I hadn’t exercised beyond an occasional bike ride or long walk in years and had never lifted weights. I was just looking for some accountability and guidance getting into weight lifting. I’ve found that and much more!

Ricardo is an excellent trainer and adapts each session to meet me where I am. I went from learning safe form with no weights to now deadlifting 200LBS! I’ve experienced a reliable surge in energy and mobility. I’ve toned and discovered muscles I never saw before! Since joining I am more confident in all forms of physical activity and just ran my first 3K!!! I have enough knowledge to workout anywhere now, but the support and accountability are invaluable. The facilities are stocked and clean with everything for diverse, dynamic workouts. You will not regret joining!

I’ve been training with Myles Madison at Fitness Identity Training for 1 1/2 years, and it has truly been an amazing experience. The private setting of the gym allows for personalized attention and a distraction-free environment, which has really helped me focus on my fitness goals. Myles is incredibly knowledgeable, customizing every session to fit my needs, whether I’m working on strength, cardio, or flexibility.

The private gym itself is always clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, making each workout enjoyable and productive. I really appreciate the attention to detail that Myles brings to every session, especially when it comes to form and technique. I always feel safe and confident knowing I’m in good hands.

What sets Myles apart is his ability to motivate while making workouts both challenging and fun. Thanks to Myles, I’ve seen incredible progress, both physically and mentally, and I always leave the gym feeling accomplished. If you’re looking for a top-notch trainer in a private, focused setting, I can’t recommend Myles Madison and Fitness Identity Training enough!”

I've always been into fitness and exercise on my own, whether outdoors or in the gym. But I met Ricardo at an event and found him to have a great personality and enthusiasm for fitness. I booked my first session and really enjoyed it. He remembers all your individual quirks and can ramp up a fitness routine to just the right amount of pace and asks the perfect amount of feedback. He'll monitor your form and give good feedback without ever being pushy. I really enjoy this style which is very different from other trainers who sometimes push too hard or seem a bit too disconnected. I've recommended all my patients to seek out Ricardo and his style of training and continue to train with him. I highly recommend him and his gym which is never too hot, not too cold, and always clean. Plenty of parking nearby though I just walk there. I've done partner sessions with me and my partner which makes it fun. Oh, and great music selection.

Ricardo is the best! As a woman of an undisclosed age, he works with me to tailor workouts to some of my existing joint issues while still pushing me to work hard. The gym is clean, has parking, and is located in the heart to DTLB.

Dwight is a very knowledgeable trainer. He's helped me improve my form and strengthen the muscles that weren't working efficiently and causing me pain. I highly recommend for anyone in the LA/Long beach area!
